The Jade Rabbit by Blood, Adele and Tam Marriott - 1927

New York: Lincoln Mac Veagh / The Dial Press, 1927. First U.S. Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine Minus/Near Fine Minus. 8vo., 312pp. Beautiful First US Edition, bound in publisher's orange cloth with titles stamped in black on front board and spine. Square, tight and very clean throughout. Trivial wear to spine ends and edges. Some off-setting to the rear board. Equally attractive scarce unclipped art-deco dust-jacket, ($2.00), has some fairly mild edge-wear and a couple of tiny nicks to the spine ends. Light soiling and a few tiny closed tears on the rear panel. Still fresh and bright and very well-preserved. A very pretty collectable copy and quite difficult to find in any condition. Much scarcer than the first UK edition published by the Diamond Press in the year prior. (Hubin p38).
